Monster in the Mirror - New Podcast Series

Coming OCTOBER 31 - MONSTER IN THE MIRROR: A podcast examining the Gothic genesis of Christian nationalism in late Victorian fantastic fiction. What does Dracula have to do with QAnon? How is Tucker Carlson carrying on the lineage of Rudyard Kipling? Is H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds a window into the rise of American fascism? The writer and creator of the show @KwongLucas uses his expertise in Victorian literature to show us how 19th century Britains invented monsters to explain the threats to their empire. Sound familiar? It should. Because, the American Right is doing the same thing today. The podcast will offer a tour of fin de siecle Victorian fiction’s most influential monsters, examining how the texts in which they are embedded each anticipate a key “subplot” in contemporary Christian nationalism’s grand narrative of decline and resurrection. Each episode will involve a combination of news clips, interviews with experts, personal reflection, and—on occasion–investigation into the extent to which Christian nationalism casts its spell over huge swathes of the American church.
